Happy Tuesday, friends! Lotte, Grace & I got back last night from a long-weekend whisk away to New York, where we surprised my niece, Rosalie, for her 5th birthday. This trip was full of Mom/Big Daughter bonding, cousin cuddles, family fun and lots more. The girls had the sweetest time together trashing houses, playing with puppies, and just generally eating way too much sugar and staying up way too late. Birthday treats galore! Movie nights galore!
What’s not to love about that 😉
We’re backkkkkk! G had an ear infection earlier in the week last week, so I wasn’t sure this trip would happen. I’m glad we ended up decided to go, though. It was pure delight, as per usual <3Grandpa picked us up at the airport and we stayed with him for the first night. The bond between this man and my girls makes me very happy.Our surprise visit was a hit! Rosalie had no idea we were coming, and she was so excited to see her cousins. Lotte & Grace loved being the objects of a big surprise, too. It was off-the-charts adorable.Cousins <3<3<3On Friday night the girls went to a movie/pizza/dance party night at Rosalie’s preschool. They wore pjs and watched Trolls and had a great time!Meanwhile, Steph & I got to have some one-on-one sister time while they were preoccupied. It was a win-win.The twins are getting so incredibly big! They were both working real hard on their first steps while we were there.On Saturday we headed out to The Castle Fun Center, which was a HUGE flashback to my youth!These cuties had a blast!Grandpa came, too, and Steph & I got to hang with him for a bit while Uncle Bri mucked around with the big kids.Angel baby.Angel baby No. 2.These two are SO ALIKE.
